The pocket-sized, 24-page handbook collates information to "cut out the guesswork", between on-screen image and printed work.

Media Collective designer Andy Brown, who came up with the idea for the handbook, said: "The first handbook came about when I was working on a particular job and wasn’t sure what sort of rich black to use.

"I started searching for a publication that would give me an example so I could make my own educated decision, rather than just following what different people say, but after searching in vain I discovered there wasn’t anything like that."

The second Print Handbook is 50% larger than the first and includes topics such as examples of overprinting and how colours sit on coated and uncoated stock, a list of standard paper sizes detailed in millimetres, inches and picas, an explanation of the golden ratio, and a display of various types of paper folds.

The Media Collective is a team of designers and project managers based in Coleshill, Warwickshire.
